I definitely prefer snaps these days. All of my Aplix diapers are in dire need of repair (which means i'm converting them to snaps!). Plus my little one has figured out how much fun undoing Aplix is (he loves the sound).

I'm a snaps gal. Toddler can't get them off, no snags in the washer, and they are lasting forever (so far)! I only liked aplix for my newborn daughter (she was just under 6 lbs and we needed the crossover aplix to fit her teeny tiny frame).

I prefer snaps, because they can't stick to each other in the washing machine, and my LO can't take them off. I know that most diapers have "laundry tabs," but in my experience they never work. Plus, snaps don't usually wear out as badly as aplix does.

I definitely prefer snaps because they can't stick to each other in the washing machine. I know that most aplix diapers have "laundry tabs," but in my experience they never work. I also prefer snaps because LO can't unsnap them, and they never look old and worn out like aplix.

I prefer snaps- my kids like to take off their diapers during naptime and in the morning before we know they're up. If they've pooped- well… use your imagination. Unless the diaper has snaps I have to put pants on them.

I'm fine with either but I think since I did sposies for a year I like aplix better, the easy of getting it to stay with a squirmy toddler is beneficial to me. But I have a baby due in May so I will see what I prefer with him 🙂

I am diapering a newborn right now so for the moment aplix is easier. The majority of my diapers are snaps. Once he out grows his newborn diapers we are switching over. I am not going to give him the chance to figure out how easy/fun it is to undo a aplix diaper! :o)

Initially thought snaps but then a CD pal said with newborn diaper changes in the middle of the night you will prefer applix. I have both in my stash only due to freebies with kelly's closet. I love them. Got a free OS baby kick a few months back. My favorite diaper so far slim and VERY absorbent

I love the fit that aplix gives me, but I do like the durability of snaps. The snaps will definitely last longer. I'm pretty sure my little girl is going to love being able to take off her diapers, so the more I can deter that, the better! 🙂

No parent who has found a diaper on the floor and seen a cute 15-mo-old booty running from the scene of the crime and possibly a puddle of piddle nearby would doubt the wisdom of snaps! my daughter would do this last summer with her Velcro diapers, and we switched to all Fuzzibunz and are very happy! Now she can wear a summer dress and not need another layer to keep her from taking off the diaper!

Snap closure, hands down! This is because they last longer and I *hate* it when the velcro or aplix gets snagged on anything including clothing or other diapers. Also when my baby is old enough, she'll be able to undo them.

Oh heavens, it depends on the day. And the age of the kid I'm diapering. I'm not sure that I can answer that :o( But I"ll say Aplix since my babies tend to be skinny and I can tighten those suckers down.

I'm 50/50. I was a super fan of snaps while on maternity leave and I was doing 90% of the diaper changes on my little boy. After starting back to work a month ago, I'm now a fan of aplix because the caretakers at my little one's daycare stretched out my perfect size small FBs and now they won't fit any future babies. Sad! So, we have a new cloth diapering plan – aplix during the day for daycare and snaps for home! Wish someone had told me about this problem before I took my snaps stash to daycare. It was not an obvious problem at first.

I like the way aplix is so perfectly size-customizable so if the LO is wearing bottoms, I'll go for them first. Now that she's figured out velcro however, if she's going without bottoms, she needs snaps or she takes her diaper off. =)

My closure preference depends on the diaper. I love our FuzziBunz snap closure, but like the snug fit of a Thirsties fitted in aplix. Also, snaps are best when baby discovers how easy it is to remove an aplix dipe

I will be attempting cloth diapering for the first time with my newborn twins. I'm leaning toward the Fuzzibuns with snaps because the diapers are so soft. Ay! I'll have a better idea once we get rolling.

I have both and prefer snaps for the cleaner look, durability & the day my LO figures out how to get her diaper off (hook & loop diaper that is). Just got my GroBaby shells back from snap conversion today – so happy – that aplix was my least favorite of all.

I love that snaps will outlast aplix. However, my youngest is a squirmer and I have to "fight" him to get the diaper fully snapped. For him I love aplix and for my older daughter snaps. Wish I had a couple more aplix for this reason!!

I started out preferring aplix for fit but now I really do prefer snaps. They just last longer. My aplix dipes are only 8 months old but they already look so sad and the snap dipes look as if they were BRAND new!

APLIX! Although my oldest daughter can take them off if shes not wearing pants… my husband is snap deficient. So one leg will be loose while the other is having circulation cut off. He can properly use the aplix. lol so we stick with that.

I feel like snaps last a little longer and usually go for snaps over the other but like to have the other for babysitters on hand Fan on facebook- hope to win some fluff someday! 😀 Thanks for all the contests and info!

I love the hook/loop on the GroVia diapers, and I like the easily adjustable fit that the hook and loop give. That being said, I tend to buy the snaps, as I figure they will last a lot longer and not wear out.

It's all the same to me. I like aplix a lot but if its a cute diaper I'll buy it regardless of the closure! I've never tried side snaps but I think it'd be worth it on my potty training two and half year old.

Most of my stash is aplix, and it's all the hubby will use, but I am starting to like my few snap ones more and more. My son hasn't figured out how to take them off yet, but all these comments to that effect are making me nervous!

I prefer snaps because I think they last longer, but I did enjoy the aplix for over-night diapers when my little one was only a few weeks old! It was a lot easier to get a custom fit before he filled out to a good size for our OS snap diapers 🙂

I loved aplix for the newborn stage, and the 'I'm too busy to lay still' stage. The snaps were really only super good for us for a few weeks when she was trying to take her diaper off, however, a life saver during those times! I prefer 'a mix!'

I prefer aplix definately with a little squirmy baby, but now that mine is getting older and able to pull it off Im liking the snaps more. He is still able to pull it off but I can usually get to him before its all the way off!

I use snaps only. Admittedly I have never tried Aplix…but my research indicated that they just don't last very long. Plus, I've got a very inquisitive toddler who would consider it a personal mission to get them off if I were using Aplix.

I actually like both! The snaps are maybe more secure, but the velcro is so fast and easy. Plus, sometimes we have issues with wing droop on the front snap dipes (but you don't get that with the babykicks!)

I just got my 1st snap closure and i think i'll like it better in the long term. I'm still figuring out which setting fits the best. For the newborn stage i'm totally loving the aplix for the i haven't slept for mor than 20 min at a time middle of the night changes.andrealeighb@live.com

I haven't had the luxury of using cloth diapers yet, just starting….but everything I have on order is snaps. I'm hoping when we start cding our 21 month old will have a harder time undoing the snaps then the velcro, same with his brother due in July!!!

I prefer snap closures as they are more difficult for my son to undo. I also find the snaps easier to deal with come laundry day as they can just be tossed in the washing machine without worrying whether or not the velcro is hooked onto the laundry tabs.

I like both Snaps and Aplix. I adore Aplix because it's so easy and I can get a perfect fit. But I realize that snaps hold up better over time. For a newborn or for changing on the middle of the night, I'd like to keep it simple with Aplix. Thanks!

Although we aren't expecting until July, We've decided to use snaps because we want to try mostly one-size diapers for now and we've heard that toddlers are really good at undoing the aplix and we want to avoid that but use the same diapers the whole way through potty training.rutheadler at gmail.com

I like the snaps better- while my son is only 3 months I know when he gets older he'll probably love undoing aplix. The only aplix diaper we have leaks, but that could be user error- other than that, aplix is way easier to get on a squirmy baby. So in a nutshell- I'm torn!
